Know anyone who wants to get into legacy/vintage and has funds to buy some of my stuff? I've made progress releasing cards back into the wild but would like to make more.

Aren't pre-release promos rarer than the pack foils? And in a sense, aren't they also much more collectible?

ive always used ultra pro matte finish sleeves, and they hold up fine for something like a GP. a few tips:

dont sleeve your SB - maindeck sleeves get a surprising amount of wear, and late into a tourney, you'll start to notice that your sb cards are in much 'newer' sleeves. marked cards is bad.

however, keep extras. sometimes sleeves break. buying a whole new pack at the venue and resleeving takes a long time. just be sure to give that new sleeve some good shuffling so you dont end up with the above marked card problem.

So here I am. What is everybody doing atm? I just applied to med school ;D and finished a masters in bioengineering. I also plan to apply for a PHD wherever (if) I go to med school (might do both together). Besides that, I am a mechanic and I tune cars (just tuned a 800rwhp lsx and about to tune a 3.XL V6 with a large single also) And here is my own car

Thats page 3 where I just finished rebuilding the transmission. You can see all the parts inside it, I label them in one of the pictures. Kinda interesting to see stuff pulled apart! ah-ha

Hey, welcome back . Trading is going on quite normally as it seems, as is buying/selling. I suppose you should try it and see for yourself?

Didn't read (too lazy tonight lol) but is it a 240zx? I just see Nissan written in the pics but besides Skyline/TypeR , wich that engine is clearly not, my guess is an old 240zx.

Anyways, congrats with your school

hey thanks. Its a 240sx, almost 20 years old. The engine is mostly original (No performance upgrades). It just happens to come with more power than what the USA is normally used to (they dont make this engine here in USA, but is still just a OEM engine from another country) so very reliable. The engine is from a Nissan Silvia S14. They are the same physical chassis so the motor fits with no modifications (5-8 hours to swap the engine/trans, very fast, everything mates up where the old engine was). OF course you can get sidetracked doing any number of infinite things while you have the engine out (from paint the car/bay to replace the engine suspension and rebuild the engine) but I prefer to keep it simple (just drop it in and go) and keep a spare on the side for the same reason (just swap it out and go). This way, the car stays driving/reliable and I only need 1 car in my name. Sorry about all the txt, I just love talking about car stuff.

IF I wanted to go fast though, I wouldn't bother with one of these 4 cyls. The hot ticket these days is the 5.3L Truck LSx engine, they are even cheaper than the engine in my car, just bigger and more work to fit (not as fast to swap the engine but...) Overall the 5.3 would support over double the power output (figure 500-600 rear wheel horsepower using an $800 engine and pump gas 28+mpg), and through an automatic trans it would be almost un-drivable in the 2800lb chassis of the 240sx. but that doesn't stop anyone...
